Fodor's Review

In a renovated villa on the main road into Hanmer, No. 31 serves exceptional food. Its well-established local chef specializes in modern NZ cuisine, using the best local produce, offered with a selection of wines from the Waipara/Hanmer area. Candle lighted, moody, and romantic inside, you can also dine alfresco in summer. Favorites include the seared venison fillet on creamed parsnip puree with pinot poached pear and for dessert the hot sticky licorice pudding with butterscotch sauce, but this place has a 2014 Beef and Lamb Excellence Award, too. It's recommended by locals as one of the best in town. Check their Facebook page for menus.
